Vector Based Technology

Vector-based technology is an expression we use to describe geometrical formulas to represent images. Graphical images can also be represented through bit maps. Bit maps, also called raster graphics, are images composed of a pattern of dots. In explaining this process to the owners of www.PageTronics.com we told them that the human eye works as a bitmap picture, catching images in a mosaic raster of photon recipient nerves. But the human brain handles it as a vector image. Using vector-based technology cuts out that middle man, providing images that delight the viewer's brain.

The web designers at Certified Computer Experts love using vector-based technology because it stretches our imagination and the imagination of the visitor. We can reconfigure, resize and reshape. Designer Tom Fitzgerald calls it making life better than life. When done correctly, the images as vectors look so much clearer and crisper on the computer monitor.

Yet for all of these benefits, vector graphics often require less memory than bitmapped images do. The technology is just wonderful. Everyone designing a site would use vector if they appreciated how to use the technology. This is what the designers at Certified Computer Experts pride themselves on - putting vector based technology to work for our clients and their visitors.
